Hello people, I've got dry skin. My skin breaks out often, so I'm always looking for products with salicylic acid. When it comes to skincare, Neutrogena is among the best brands on the market. So I didn't have to think twice before buying this salicylic acid acne face wash from them. Here's my honest review after my experience using this product.

About Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash

The Neutrogena acne face wash combines a powerful acne cleanser and treatment in one formula for treating and helping to prevent breakouts in a simple step. The oil-free formula does not only cleanse deep to pores for clearer skin gently, it also contains Salicylic Acid which helps in preventing future breakouts as well as getting rid of acne. Plus, the product helps prevent over-drying and irritation, so it is never oily and it rinses clean.

My experience with Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Face Wash

This product comes in a transparent pump dispenser. Pump dispensers are quite comfortable to use, so I prefer them to flip top bottles. Also, it releases just enough quantity for every single push. Hence, I love it. Details of the product including a list of the ingredients used are on its backside.

The product is amber-colored, not too thick or thin, and it has a creamy gel texture. It has a fresh smell and foams up nicely with water. Most similar products contain less salicylic acid, but this product contains about 2% of it which is a fantastic quantity for acne-prone skins. However, this implies skin dryness. Hence, after washing my face with the poduct, I mostly use a nice non-comedogenic moisturizer.
